Destination - For a Public

For a Public is a vivid celebration of California’s iconic identity, reimagined through the bold brushwork of Nathan Gibbs. The painting fuses the classic California Republic flag with layered imagery of surfers, hikers, and sun-drenched coastlines, all framed within the shape of the Golden State itself. With warm desert tones, glowing rays of sunshine, and a powerful bear striding across the map, this piece evokes both California pride and the untamed spirit of its outdoor lifestyle.

Ideal for collectors of California art, surf-inspired wall decor, or fans of mixed media Americana, this vibrant composition reflects everything from the Sierra hikes to Pacific swells.

The 'Destination Series' uses a quilt, color blocking look, and is done with paint and wood stain. This surf art was painted on wood originally, and depicts surf scenes from around the world. Some are often real, while others are made up from my mind. Let me know if you have any questions on the concept or meaning behind the surf art, I am always happy to discuss my inspirations with you!
